Precarious Tasks #9:
24 hrs Gathering, 2017
What happens when a disaster occurs and you suddenly find yourself stuck somewhere with no means of escape? It’s something many experienced after the Fukushima earthquake. The Japanese artist Koki Tanaka has turned this state into an action: visitors are invited to a 24-hour gathering to reflect on community, solidarity, everyday acts and rituals, but also drink tea together or watch films.

“Provisional Studies”: Japanese artist Koki Tanaka at Kunsthaus Graz, Universalmuseum Joanneum

Art Radar 2017/7/12
Japanese artist Koki Tanaka’s first solo exhibition in Austria uses ‘experimental setups’ to stress the importance of collective experience.
Currently on show until 28 August 2017 at Kunsthaus Graz is “Provisional Studies (Working Title)”, an exhibition by Japanese artist Koki Tanaka addressing the power and potential of collective action.
Through a series of text, film and photographic works, Koki Tanaka’s first solo show in Austria “Provisional Studies (Working Title)” considers what people can achieve when they work together. Curated by Barbara Steiner at Kunsthaus Graz, the explorative and dialogical nature of Tanaka’s work focuses on creating situations, or ‘experimental set-ups’, which invite ‘people to try out tasks that seem impossible’.
People may be asked by Tanaka to jointly write a protest song or compose a soundtrack on a piano by Tanaka, all of which is documented and subsequently displayed in a gallery setting. This exhibition includes new work from the artist, which centres around anti-nuclear protests, continuing Tanaka’s aim to ask difficult, provocative questions and create frameworks through which visitors and spectators engage in these social issues. The exhibition therefore stresses the importance of shared experience and collective participation, commenting on wider sociological questions bound up in strike action and demonstration.
Themes of collectivity, democracy and community are crucial to Koki Tanaka’s work and inform this show, in line with his previous work. Prior exhibitions such as “Provisional studies: Action #5 Conceiving the Past, Perceiving the Present” at The Showroom in London focused on collaboration and encouraged visitors, including historians, seniors and school children, to contemplate local histories and bring along personal objects to exchange and share. Whilst his exhibition at Kunsthaus Graz does not rely so literally on the visitor, it does stress the impact that shared experience and social exchange have on collective and individual identity.
Tanaka’s practice is layered, focusing first on a particular project or event, and then displaying its documentation within a gallery setting. His work is designed to provoke and stimulate thought on a range of social and political issues, often linked to Japan but often based elsewhere; in this case, Austria. This allows him to be both an ‘outsider’ and a ‘local’ when working on different projects, and providing different perspectives. Tanaka describes himself as an “objective observer:”, organising meetings, shoots and situations which he sees as “frameworks” to let things happen, underpinned by conceptual thinking which allows “unclear things” to happen. He explains how his approach “is to set up uncertain goals or even no goal, and ask people to get lost with me”.
